  1. 16. Planning future forests for energy, environment and wildlife : Evaluation of forest management scenarios using a forest landscape model in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Sigvard Bast; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Forest landscape model; Biomass succession simulation; Carbon stock change; Habitat indicators; Scenario analysis; Integrated sustainability assessment;

    Sammanfattning : Comparing the future state of natural capital and ecosystem services with quantitative scenarios  is essential in the decision-making process for a sustainable management of forest landscapes. In Sweden, an intensified forest management will likely be necessary to meet future demands of woody biomass as a source of bioenergy and building materials. LÄS MER

  2. 17. Vegetation cover change on Tindfjöll mountains, Iceland, assessed by aerial photographs, topography, and climate

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Environmental changes; High Latitudes; Physical Geography; Ecosystem sciences; GIS; Climate Change; Vegetation change; Vegetation cover; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir Climate change is having a great impact on the fragile High Latitude environment where warming is occurring at a rate at least double the global average. It is urgent to understand the relationship between climate and vegetation cover, which is playing an important role, as a carbon sink, for biodiversity, and for protecting against natural hazards.

  3. 18. Dynamics of net primary production and food availability in the aftermath of the 2004 and 2007 desert locust outbreaks in Niger and Yemen

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Emma Bylund; [2021]
    Nyckelord :geography; GIS; desert locust outbreak; NPP; food availability; livelihood zones; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The knowledge of desert locust plagues goes back to biblical times but it is just as relevant in 2020 with an ongoing outbreak in East Africa and the Middle East. The locusts pose a threat to agriculture, and by extent food availability, due to their high appetite, diverse diet and ability to migrate long distances in large swarms. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Ainahu Abdul Hamid; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation optical depth; Temperate Forest; Climate; LPJ-GUESS; Evapotranspiration; Leaf water potential; Isohydricity; Hydraulic failure; Carbon starvation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Monitoring wetland cover changes during the past two decades within the protected areas of the Sudd wetland in South Sudan using MODIS data

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Charlotta Ruuskanen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; MODIS; NDVI; Sudd Wetlands; Wetland Cover Classification; White Nile Hydrology; Armed Herder-Pastoralist Conflict analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The Sudd wetland, situated along the White Nile in the Republic of South Sudan, is recognized internationally for its unique environmental features. The distinctive ecological characteristics have resulted in the creation of numerous nature reserves in efforts to conserve the habitats and ecosystem services provided. LÄS MER
